Claudine,
Thanks for your comments and I’m glad to provide inspiration. This was a really fun post to write. I also think that one’s approach to their personal passions is an indicator of their potential in the workplace, should they be sufficiently inspired by what they do. You clearly have passion for your work and it shows in the help you provide to clients and friends.

Greg,

I so loved reading this post. Any time someone is bursting at the seams with passion and persistence and dedication, it is an inspiration – you don’t have to be a runner to be inspired by this post. I do enjoy running, but we’re on compleeeetly different levels. I guarantee you next time I’m running, though, even for my little tiny 3 or 4 mile runs, I will push a little bit harder, and enjoy it a little bit more. But more important than that, reading this post reminded me of my own capacity to be passionate, and to persist, and that feels great.

Claudine

amazing how you've come back so strong. Very inspirational and encouraging as I decide for a new marathon PR (even though its been 6 yrs ). Chicago marathon

Thanks for the post.

Very nice post Greg. Inspiring to newbie and veteran runners alike (I fall somewhere in between at the moment).

Thanks for your comment Jill, it’s been a surprising journey back and makes me wonder why I gave it up (well, except the whole 3 kids in 5 years thing).

Thanks for the visit and your comments Brian – please keep at your own running until you consider yourself a veteran.
